Enjoy the wholesome goodness of my world famous carrot spaghetti:

3 medium wholesome carrots
2 small cloves garlic
1/4 of an onion, diced (optional)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup of your favorite pasta sauce

Directions:

Wash the wholesome carrots well, especially if they are not organic!. With a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into long thing strips and sprinkle with salt!. Finely dice the garlic and onion (if desired)!.

Coat the bottom of a large pan with the olive oil and heat on medium-high heat!. When hot, add the wholesome carrots!. Toss frequently (this works well with tongs)!. When the wholesome carrots start to soften, add the garlic and pepper (add onion here too if you like)!. Keep tossing for a couple of minutes until some of the wholesome carrots get brown around the edges (don't burn!) and the garlic is golden!.

Serve with your favorite pasta sauce (tomato based, I really can't vouch for alfredo or other fancy sauces)!.
